The funding system is broken, not the actual act of funding. We aren't incentivizing meaningful work, we are incentivizing diplomas.

So everything in moderation? Cool, glad my philosophy still applies.

Yes because the countries with lower taxes are so free and democratic. Pretty sure the relationship is inverse if you take even 5 min of your time to look.

> I was told that by default all user data is level 4, as in if you do anything without decent approval, you're insta fired. There are many stories about at least one person a mont…

Oh yes, the famous Galaxy XCover 7 Pro. People are camping out in the rain waiting for their release because replaceable batteries are under such high demand.

Massive tests files are almost as bad a massive function. Scrolling through a 3k line test suite with multiple levels of nesting trying to figure out which cases are covered is a f…

I have been seeing this problem building over the last year. LLM generated logic being tested by massive LLM generated tests. Everyone just goes overboard with the tests since you …

I’ve had issues like that in the past, had to clear the cache for the spotlight index or something like that. Fixed it right away. Not sure if you’re facing the same issue.

I’m still using my M1 MacBook from 6 years ago. My company keeps emailing me to upgrade to the newest one but everything works perfectly fine and the performance is more than adequ…

I don't think brand designers or graphic designers are going anywhere. Yes, the lower end of the market will be decimated. But that's been the case for a long time now. Services li…

This has nothing to do with AI or any of that shit. Their stock price has been flat for like 4 years and they have no advantage in this new AI world that would change that. These l…

I don't use that site much nowadays, but every time I do, I am shocked at just how many fucking bugs there are. This idea that they laid off whatever percentage of their workforce …

I think the execs are either using it as an excuse to reduce opex to boost share prices or they're actually buying into this delusion that the productivity improvements are right a…

I don't understand this overreaction to this news. Amazon does massive layoffs every fucking year. 2026: 16,000 2025: 14,000 2024: 500 2023: 18,000 2022: 10,000

This is most definitely an overgeneralization, but in my experience, engineers that constantly talk shit about management are either shitty engineers themselves or they're incredib…

Factory motorcycles aren't that loud. Most of the ones you notice are modified.

> Scooters are vastly safer than motorcycles Why make such a definitive claim with zero evidence to back it up? The justifications in that section are nonsense and seem to boil dow…

It's most likely an attempt to give low performers (if you received a bad rating for last year) a chance to leave on your own terms before they lay you off. If I was in that bucket…

Most bugs are trivial to identify and trivial to fix. At least that’s been my experience from 15 years as a SWE in start ups and FANG alike. Yes, I’ve worked on bugs that have take…

Do people actually do that? Finding bugs in virtually any piece of software isn’t difficult if you have access to the source. Merging in a bug only to fix it later honestly seems l…

Millions might as well be zero to Apple. There is overhead when it comes to dealing with another company, combined with the potential of damaging your brand. If the number is not i…

You could say the same thing about virtually any large tech company that does B2C and B2B, which is basically all of them.

Withdrawing carbon emission goals? Jesus. What the fuck is going on in this country.

That has nothing to do with it. Society in general is just uncomfortable with the idea of euthanasia and politicians don’t want to be labeled as promoting “suicide” It’s just not a…

The US makes up a majority of their user base. My property isn’t even that rural and I doubt I’ll get fiber before 2050. 5G is much more likely. It’s just too cost prohibitive to b…
